What is this one?

Hi Bill

Been a while since I posted. Finally got a new slide scanner, and have gone and scanned a number of images dating back quite some time.

This one was in Nelson Bay, Port Stephens, New South Wales [Australia] at Halifax Park. Photo was taken in January, 2000. Haven't come across if before, although its probably quite common in places.

Would appreciate your assistance.

Best regards

Des

Dear Des,
It's a bit hard to be 100% sure from the photo, but I am pretty convinced it is Chromodoris aureopurpurea. The position of the dark purple spots, with the purple border extending in to incorporate them, is typical of the species.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman.
